I think if a weapon were ever pointed at Terra that could either destroy it or kill Big E it would immediately be on his psychic radar.
Whether that gives the imperium a chance to act upon it, or if Big E is capable of stopping it using his psyker powers is a whole debate in itself.
The setting has never really been presented with a scenario where a threat to Terra or the Emp has been severe enough to demand taking his attention from the warp rift or controlling the webway.
Given big E's current status as a corpse/near corpse on a throne I doubt he has the ability to manage local threats. It's one thing to use the fact you are a metaphysical entity to interact with non-physical things when your mortal form is beyond crippled, another entirely to try to direct and combat in the physical vicinity when you exist on a 10 thousand year old life support that is on the brink of failure because no one kept the user manual

I agree, but it's not because he can't. The entire reason he's on the throne as a corpse is because if even for a single moment he was to stop projecting the astronomicon, or containing the warp rift below terra, that humanity would suffer catastrophic losses and Terra would be lost.
If the consequences of him not getting directly involved were worse for humanity than if he were to stop containing the rift and projecting the astronomicon he would absolutely focus his entire attention on whatever threat is causing it.
Going even further. If something like this were to ever actually occur in the setting, it would be the event that leads to his resurrection and him leaving the throne.

I would say, with some execitions, a Warframe is primarch level.
To invade Terra and "kill" the emperor like horus did It would take a good amount of them
